Check with Timmy at iomfats. His code guy has some little script that does it pretty well.
The issue that I have with multiple windows opening probably isn't one you think of much, but I use a screen reader because I have vision problems. On some sites, opening new windows takes control of the browser away from the program (steals the focus) and then I've got to go through a litany of rotating through windows to find the right one. This is much improved here with tabbed browsing because it only opens a tab and not a new window, but on the other site on some stories it opens entirely new browser sessions, which I hate dealing with. The "next chapter" button they have recently put in helps, but they haven't implemented it on old work, only new stories.
Again, it's not such a problem here, because the way you target the links only pops a tab. If you're thinking about redoing your navigation now you have another reason to stay within the same window, but I wouldn't make it a priority.

Oh, okay, that's much clearer. Thank you for the information, I do appreciate it!

I applaud you for standing up for your beliefs. I have not read the story in question, nor do I need to. I'm honestly surprised that a site that has so much content geared to young people would post something so vile. And while, as you say, nobody HAS to read it, just the fact that it exists in a place where kids go and browse to feel normal and comfortable with themselves, is incredibly creepy, and more than a little unsettling. I'm glad that this site has the benefit of your work, your dedication to guiding and protecting our future generations, and your integrity. Bravo.
I was never even aware of the story, and I haven't read it. Just tried unsuccessfully to find it, but I think I'll stop looking, anyway.
It's a good thing that, on the other site, I was almost exclusively picking stories by authors I already knew, or that I had read elsewhere and was familiar with. I was saved the misfortune of stumbling across the story. I know I have read stories like that in the past, and that the extreme age differences portrayed would definitely have been unsettling.
It kind of makes one wonder about the state of mind that author is in when writing. I have no idea who it is, anyway, so I can't say what he's thinking, but we can still take an outside look from the point of the observer and be allowed to make an honest appraisal when something isn't right, without judging or being judged.

I think I know why this is. Our generation grew up hearing that no gay relationship is honorable or appropriate. Many of us waited, and waited and waited for prayers to be answered and magically become heterosexual. When that didn't happen, they woke up one day, fat, bald, forty and alone deceived and cheated out of the best part of their life. There's tons of stuff these guys didn't learn- what is and is not appropriate just for starters. Others are angry at a God that didn't deliver on his promises. These guys are so angry, I've met some that my spider senses told me are maybe just a little bit dangerous. I was for a while. I'm better now. We each fight the good fight in our own way. A good friend of mine once told me: try not to let the mess get in the way of the message. Sad to say I can relate to this somewhat. I just came out Sunday March 1st after twenty years of denying it, wishing it away or burying it inside. Your damn right I feel cheated big time. But it's not all God's fault it partly mine for not have the courage back then to accept the true me. Luckily I have a gut but not fat, not bald, only 36 and trying to correct the alone part. And this is why I love the stories here: one they are the reason I am out, and two: most of what I missed I can experience though said stories safely in my mind without anyone getting hurt. A few of you have received emails from me, for them and the ones that haven't THANK-YOU.

Congratulations on coming to terms, Scott. I am a bisexual male, age in the lower 60s, who fortunately found an opposite sex spouse I love and have been married to for the best part of 40 years. However, it took years for me to admit to myself that I am bisexual, and I have only admitted it to about 4 close friend and some online friends. As I get older, the scale is tipping more toward the "gay" side of the scale; for years it was closer to 60 or 70 percent on the hetero side.
This is my opinion, and only my opinion. If anyone can seem "cured" of same sex attraction, they are likely bisexual, and modify their behavior to APPEAR hetero. They are not "cured," however, and in reality, have nothing to be "cured" from. (Re the previous sentence, I feel like the third grader who said, :I know I'm not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition, and I'm not going to.")
Sometimes those who promote "conversion" therapy in their own minds are well-meaning (again, in THEIR minds), but they are WRONG.

Sounds a lot like my story. I spent 20 years buried in my car hobby and never saw saw what was right in front of me. I was in my late 30's when I finally figured it out. This was 10-15 years ago. Now look at me. No, wait. Bad example.

It was recently pointed out to me that the story in question was even classified by Nifty as 'Adult/Youth'. When it comes to identifying things like that, Nifty sure has the experience, wouldn't you say?

Nifty understood what it was when they got it, why didn't others? Very disappointing.

Your on your own now, decisions are yours, let the ex go and it's not healthy to dwell good learn but not obsess. I have not read said story but I have read yours and trust your judgment. Let it go.
